This is a page from the Book of Hours owned and commissioned by the Duke of Berry in the 15th century. I've given you the full size because I think the pictures are both pretty and informative.
What the heck is a Book of Hours? I'll let you find that out.
Also find out about the Duke himself and about the Duchy of Berry.
This illustration is for the month of July. All the pictures are this big, so I've put all the others as links. You can learn quite a bit about daily life by looking at these pictures.
